Animal Protective Foundation

Capitaland Motors is a proud supporter of the Animal Protective Foundation. We believe every animal should have a well deserving home.

MissionThe
mission of the Animal Protective Foundation of Schenectady is to
address pet overpopulation and animal suffering through education and
appropriate action, to enhance human/animal relationships, and to
provide care to animals in need.

The APF's Commitment to the AnimalsThe
health and background of the animals brought to us varies greatly,
making our first priorities for them safety, comfort and medical care.
Upon arrival, animals receive an incoming exam and are vaccinated
against distemper, rabies and other diseases. They are also dewormed and
treated for external parasites, including fleas and ear mites. Then
they are given time to settle into their new surroundings and provided
with comforting amenities, such as blankets, beds and toys.

We get to know our dogs and cats through personality and behavioral
assessments so that we can place them with adopters whose lifestyles
best match their needs. Staff members and volunteers also provide daily
exercise and socialization for the animals.

Spay/Neuter ClinicThe
APF Community Spay/Neuter Clinic provides high-quality, low-cost
spay/neuter services for cats and dogs. Animals receive compassionate
care by skilled veterinary professionals
using the same quality instruments, supplies, and equipment you would
find in a private veterinary hospital. Special fees are available for
anyone receiving New York State benefits, as well as rescue groups. The
clinic is located next to the APF shelter at
53 Maple Avenue in Scotia. Call (518) 374-3944, ext. 121 to make an
appointment. Learn more online at
